Three weeks ago Drake Blanchard got his Red Cross lifeguard certification. Monday, he started his first day of work as a lifeguard at the Orange Natatorium. By that time he wasn't new to his work. On Saturday, he used his CPR training to save a drowning girl during a birthday pool party. "I got a little practice in," he quietly said Tuesday afternoon at the natatorium. He hasn't met the 10-year-old girl yet. She was taken to a Houston hospital for observation. He heard she was released on Monday. The party was for his god sister in the Chasse Ridge subdivision in Little Cypress. Drake said when he arrived, people joked about him being a lifeguard and how they might need him. The time came. He recalls being off to the side talking with people. Grownups had seen the girl and brought her out. They began yelling his name to help with his lifesaving skills. "They always say people turn blue but I didn't know they turn that blue," he said about the girl. “If she had a pulse, it wasn’t much.” He didn’t panic. “I guess my training kicked in,” he said. On the first chest compression, the girl started spitting out water. Drake continued and got her breathing. Her color returned and gradually she gained consciousness. An ambulance came and took her to the hospital. Drake is quiet about his accomplishment. He hasn’t even told his Red Cross instructor. “Not many people know about it,” he said about the Saturday event. He’s 17 years old and a student at Little Cypress-Mauriceville High. Don’t call him a junior. “I’ll be a senior in a week,” he said. He has another year to go before high school graduation, but you could say he graduated summa cum laude in lifesaving.

After a successful season at Baton Rouge Community College, Kody Smith (LCM) has committed to joining the University of Louisiana-Lafayette where he will join former BC Cardinal Matt Hicks.

The Little Cypress-Mauriceville CISD has announced updates to their Limited Open Enrollment policy. According to Superintendent, Dr. Pauline Hargrove, “We piloted the program during the second semester so that we could evaluate its effectiveness and make any necessary revisions prior to the first full year of operations, the 2011-2012 school year.

After reviewing applications and considering input from staff, the community, and parents of prospective students, the following change recommendations were made by the Administration and approved by the LCM CISD Board of Trustees during the June meeting.

The following items have changed:

· Kindergarten students will no longer have to wait until after the first week of school to be considered. Applications are currently being accepted.

· Students no longer need to have passed all subjects in all grading periods; instead, the student must have been promoted to the next grade level or be on track to be promoted to the next grade level.

· Students who have already been accepted no longer automatically lose their enrollment eligibility if they receive two disciplinary referrals in a six weeks period; instead, it is now worded that there can be no problems of persistent misbehavior as determined by the principal.

Applications are being accepted for 2011-2012 enrollments. The entire policy, application, and tuition forms are available on the LCM CISD website at www.lcmcisd.org. The link is on the right side of the page, just above the Gold Circle Award icon. Applications are also available at the LCM Administration Building, 6586 FM 1130. For additional questions, please call 409-883-2232, and dial “O” for the receptionist.
